O uso do facebook como ferramenta pedagógica digital nas aulas de Língua Portuguesa

Abstract

In this work, we discuss the importance of inserting, in the teaching and learning process, the social network digital tools, Facebook, in the Portuguese Language classes, exploring its potential with its innumerable pedagogical resources and possibilities, aiming to awaken the active participation of learners in class, as well as overcome the challenges imposed on the teaching practice of Portuguese Language Teachers to train proficient readers with the use of Web 2.0 technologies, noting their difficulties and their preparation from their initial formation to their continuing education. Our theoretical contribution is based on the studies of Coscarelli (2016), Lévy (2010), Gabriel (2013), Porto and Santos (2014), Rojo (2012), Gomes (2016) among others that guide studies on teachers in the use of ICT to promote interactive teaching and collaborative learning. To collect the initial corpus, a structured interview was carried out with three teachers of Portuguese Language and 22 students from the Final Years of Primary Education - 9th grade. The locus of the research was the Public Network of the Municipality of Ferreiros PE. In the analysis of the corpus, we associate the text / discourse produced by the teachers with their pedagogical doing and their didactic and pedagogical conceptions. The trajectory we have outlined, seeks to outline the relationship between LP teachers and students with Web 2.0 technologies, highlighting current dilemmas and perspectives for teaching and learning. The applied activity aimed to take a proposal of teaching and learning mediated by the real use of a digital environment, in our case Facebook, for students and teachers. Through the collected data, the intervention proposal indicates the need to know the available tools to be able to explore its potentialities in the educational context and to know more about the insertion of the digital technologies in the teaching of Portuguese Language. We also note that reading and navigating online space, when well planned and well-conducted, is capable of developing multiple literacies. The use of ICT acts in the school as an attractive and motivating way to develop reading and writing skills with the authorship of the students, providing a dynamic, participatory and collaborative teaching and learning process in Portuguese language teaching. The results obtained from the execution of the intervention project served as a guide to our choices at the moment of construction of the activity proposal.
